At what WebLink is WBZ News Radio?...

The other former CBS stations that are now part of Entercom have left the CBSLocal domain, and are now on the Radio.com domain. So WBMX is Mix1041.Radio.com.

They're using the WordPress VIP layout that CBS stations used prior to establishment of the CBSLocal domain.

Probably still on TuneIn and radio dot com.It wasn't added to iHeart app as of yesterday but that could change. New iHeart site is http://wbznewsradio.iheart.com but link via http://www.wbz.com should stay up awhile..oops now I see 1030 removed at least from top of the CBSBoston page

Right, it now returns a “404 - Sorry Page Not Found” error.
But it you look at the Google Cache of the page (at least while the Nov.17th version is used), you will see that all of the links (e.g., “Heard On WBZ NewsRadio 1030”) are still active.
 
Same issue currently with WZLX, although you can access the WZLX website through wzlx.iheart.com. WZLX is now streaming on iHeart as well. I'd imagine WBZ must be the same. No mention of "an iHeart radio station" yet on the top of hour ID.

New TOH ID is in place as of this morning - WBZ and WBZ HD Boston, and iHeart radio station.

Guess the WBZ-FM HD3 stream is gone. iHeart streaming is working and was able to get it working with Logitech Squeezebox.
 
The positive side of this is WBZ radio will now have a distinct web presence. The CBS local thing grew on me overtime and I thought tying the sports and news together between TV and radio made some sense but TV seemed to take the more prominant roll on that site and you had to dig deeper to find radio specific stuff.

Just deleted the CBS local app from my phone now that the WBZ radio stream is gone.
 
Looks like WBZ will relocate its HD3 signal to Kiss 108 FM. So Kiss will be carrying News Radio 1030 on its digital piggy back.
 
Have you seen the WBZ Newsradio website on I Heart, it is horrible, very bland, on the top where it says "The newswatch never stops", it is cut off by the on-air, news, podcast, features and contest tabs. Looks like it was done by a first grader; not up to the standards of an icon like WBZ

Might be a problem with your browser, because that portion looks fine. But yes it's obvious the WBZ staff hasn't added any of their own Boston content yet.
 
The streams may be gone but the actual HD radio signals may still be on.They were yesterday including WRKO on 93.7 HD2.These could change though. Also for the time being spillover sports for 98.5 may still be on 100.7 but that could change too.

As for the WBZ site all you had to do was look at sites for stations like WKOX and WHJJ to see what you'd get.Their country station sites are all bland cookie cutter too.At least now that Ent. has WRVA in Richmond (Jeff Katz) that site should improve

It's IHeart's own Icecast based streaming platform

It works on my Vistaquest Radio, which cannot play IHeart streams because it needs the IHeart player. Thanks a million! I wonder if IHeart has an Icecast stream like this one for WBZ that can also play the stream for other IHeart stations like WHJJ Providence?
 
Yes, use "view-source" and search for the word 'streams' - it only appears once. Do NOT use the m3u8 stream - that's for Roku and such, use ones after that.
